2015 collection

FUELED BY INNOVATION AND NEW ADVENTURES Y The freedom of the open road is the very reason we ride. Those of us who enjoy pushing motorcyclingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s many freedoms to the limit often turn down the roads with no signs and no names. Sometimesâ&#x20AC;Śwe abandon the road altogether. For undiscovered terrain and endless adventure, SHOEI is proud to introduce the all-new Hornet X2. Never before has the unknown road felt so good.

FOR EVERY ROAD

Y From the very beginning phases of conceptualization, the sole purpose of creating the all-new Hornet X2 was to offer serious dual-sport enthusiasts the perfect helmet for all corners of their journey. Striking the optimal balance between on-and-off-road form and function is no easy task, but in the end, the Hornet X2 defines what we all love most about dual-sport, adventure riding; it knows no bounds. Designed to maintain peak performance in every condition thrown its way without compromising the core values of a long distance touring helmet, the new Hornet X2 is a true all-road, all-element helmet.

THE EVOLUTION OF FOG RESISTANT PERFORMANCE Thanks to the innovative features of the all-new Pinlock® EVO, SHOEI riders will experience the clearest view ever under even the most extreme conditions. Tested and proven on the road and racetrack, the Pinlock® EVO passes the most stringent international mist-retardant tests and standards with flying colors! One ride in adverse weather conditions is all it takes to truly appreciate the benefits of the all-new Pinlock® Enhance your ride.

PINLOCK® EVO OFFERS YOU: • • • • • •

The most effective anti-fog protection available Clear view under extreme/highly demanding circumstances Passes stringent international mist-retardant standards Highest grade of moisture-absorbing material Sustainable and interchangeable Simple, one-step process for easy installation and cleaning

SUPERIOR RIDING PERFORMANCE Whether dominating the racetrack or out for a pleasure ride, motorcyclists know how important clear, crisp vision is. Traditionally, riders deal with changing light conditions by carrying two shields (one clear, one tinted) with them at all times. Transitions® adaptive shields not only eliminate the need to carry multiple shields, they actually enhance vision by seamlessly adjusting to optimized darkness levels with the changing light.

PHOTOCHROMIC MOLECULES MAKE LIGHT, DARK, AND EVERY SHADE IN BETWEEN POSSIBLE When Transitions® shields are exposed to UV light, trillions of photochromic molecules in the shield begin to change structure. This reaction is what causes the shields to darken. The superiority of Transitions‘ brand technology lies in their exclusive, patented formulas. The molecules constantly and smoothly

recalibrate so the optimal amount of light reaches your eyes whether you’re in bright sunlight or under cloud cover.

For all the energy and passion invested into the design and development of a product, the same level of care and due diligence must be achieved during the production process. A number of unique, state-ofthe-art processes combine to yield the unrivaled quality that only SHOEI helmets are known for, and each helmet must pass several rigorous inspections throughout production before being awarded with the famous SHOEI hexagon.

SHOEI's proprietary AIM (Advanced Integrated Matrix) and AIM+ shell molding technology integrates a multi-ply matrix of hand-laid interwoven layers of fiberglass with organic fibers and resin. Together, these materials combine to maximize strength and elasticity in a strong yet lightweight shell, and each is personally marked by the technician responsible for it to further endorse the quality of every helmet.

Robotically controlled lasers give each helmet its final shape by cutting off protrusions created during the shell molding process, as well as creating the openings for eye and ventilation ports. Once this process is complete, all helmets are thoroughly inspected to ensure proper material thickness and weight before moving on to the next phase of manufacturing.

SHOEI's intricate painting and graphics application procedures are second to none. Combining handwork with state-of-the-art automation processes to ensure optimal quality, each helmet boasts a premium painted finish and hand-applied decals before being sealed and protected with several quality layers of clearcoat. Each and every SHOEI helmet receives up to five layers of paint before final assembly.

SHOEI knows that one size does not fit all, which is why we offer an industry-leading number of shell sizes, as well as various liner sizes and cheek pad thicknesses to ensure a customizable fit for each and every rider. Along with extensive research on head shapes and sizes, SHOEI incorporates a mix of exclusive comfort and performance features into the construction of every helmet. Groundbreaking components like our 3D Max-Dry Interior Systems, 3D-shaped center pads to match the contours of a rider’s head, fully removable, washable and replaceable liner systems, multi-layer cheek pads, eyeglass channels, and integrated neck pads accentuate the impeccable comfort packages exclusive only to SHOEI helmets.

SHOEI ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY

AERODYNAMICS & VENTILATION Motorcyclists live in a stream of moving air, making SHOEI's in-house wind tunnels an integral tool during the design and development process. In addition to shell aerodynamics, the aerodynamic efficiency of spoilers and vents are also analyzed during SHOEI's extensive wind tunnel testing practices. The result: every SHOEI helmet boasts an incredibly sleek design that increases airflow, reduces noise, buffeting and lift, and ultimately enhances the overall comfort and performance of your ride.

A critical step in the manufacturing process, final helmet assembly is done with care and precision, including the installation of ventilation sliders, shield seals, impact absorbing EPS liners, and comfort interiors. Each helmet passes a detailed final inspection before being passed on to the consumer. This strict compliance with the production processes and associated quality control standards guarantee the consistently high quality of a SHOEI helmet.

An integral part of the development process, SHOEI's ventilation systems direct cooling air in through the front of the helmet, and utilize key areas of low air pressure to the rear of the helmet to draw warm, damp air through its exhaust outlets. Along with the perfect shape and placement of vent intakes and outlets, the air channels in SHOEI's unique Dual-Layer EPS Liner systems are a significant contributor to our helmetsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; world-class ventilation characteristics.

AIM

SHELL CONSTRUCTION

SHOEI's proprietary AIM+ technology integrates a six-ply matrix of handlaid interwoven layers of fiberglass with organic fibers and resin, resulting in the strongest, lightest, most elastic shell we’ve ever produced.

INTEGRATED NECK PAD

CHIN CURTAIN

SHOEI's 3D Max-Dry interior is a highperformance system that features our proprietary Max-Dry material, proven to absorb and dissipate sweat 2X faster than nylon interiors. Pulling moisture away from the skin results in a cooler, dryer riding and racing experience. In addition, our 3D Max-Dry liners are three-dimensionally shaped to match the contours of a rider’s head, yielding our most comfortable fit ever.

SHOEI's Multi-Layer Cheek Pads combine varying foam densities to find the perfect balance between comfort and helmet stabilization. Variable thickness cheekpads are available for custom fitting.

SHOEI riders who wear eyeglasses or sunglasses will enjoy the extra comfort yielded from these specially designed channels in our cheek pads—the most efficient method for relieving pressure created by eyeglass arms in the temple area.

In addition to providing improved helmet stability capable of reducing rider fatigue, SHOEI's newly designed, integrated neck pads are effective at preventing unwanted wind and road noise from entering through the bottom of the helmet.

Standard on many SHOEI helmet models, the chin curtain can be inserted into the lower edge of the chin bar to reduce wind turbulence and noise.

How To Measure Your Head Size

No helmet can protect the wearer against all unforeseeable highand low-speed impacts. However, to help maximize head protection, the helmet must fit properly, and the retention system must be securely fastened under the chin. Failure to ride with a proper fitting helmet and securely fastened chinstrap is dangerous, as the helmet could come off during an accident, resulting in severe head trauma or death.

1. To determine where you fall on SHOEI's sizing chart (as a starting point for proper helmet fit), pass a soft, flexible tape measure horizontally around your head at a height of approximately one inch (2.5cm) above your eyebrows (the largest measurement around your forehead).

S S= Standard

NA= Not Available 2015 | ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY

THE PERFECT FIT

1”

2. Select the helmet size that is closest to your head measurement from the sizing guidelines above. If your head measurement falls between two helmet sizes, first try on the smaller of the two helmets.

To determine the proper helmet fit and learn how to safely secure your chinstrap retention system, we recommend viewing SHOEI's “Helmet Fit” video at www.shoei-helmets.com/helmetfit, or consult with an authorized SHOEI dealer today. Proper fit is important not only for comfort, but for safety, as well.
